Neoconservatives?Let us be frank. This appellation is no longer a descriptive term of so-called "new conservatives," those members of the eastern intelligentsia who were rather liberal on some domestic hot-button issues (tolerant of open borders, quiet about abortion, indifferent to gay marriage, etc.), but promoted a proactive neo-Wilsonian idealism in foreign policy (whether in the Balkans in taking out Milosevic or in trying to replace Saddam Hussein with democracy rather than a Shah-like proconsul).Instead, face the ugly fact: "Neocon" is now a slur for "Jew."
PING!

we should expect a lot of killing and bombing in the next few months ...I don't think so. The value to the terrorists of bombing Iraqi citizens now seems counterproductive. Now that they have been snookered by Bush in the early transition of power, even the killing of American soldiers, now not seen as OCCUPIERS, will be seen differently by the citizenry. I think Iraq is a lost cause for the enemy now, the question is do they understand this now, or will they come to the inevitable conclusion later.

Mornin', y'all. Victor Davis Hanson of National Review sums up what I've been thinking pretty durn well. I have a brother who does nothing but shoot off things he's heard or read, about how we had al-Sadr in custody and we let him go, how Bush lies every day, and all I can think about is how history, in the end, will vindicate us in this. I'm done looking for approval from our contemporaries. VDH says:
"If there was advice from a "bloc" of so-called neoconservatives, it has not "failed," but is in fact already working even as we caricature it: We've taken out Saddam; we are on the eve of a transition to an autonomous reform government; and we are shooting the enemy 7,000 miles away, rather than being murdered at Ground Zero. And, by any historical standard, we are fighting in both an economical and humane fashion."
Any time I hear someone talking about how we've failed in Iraq, I'm ready to tell them to wait ten years, at least, and then listen to the media talk about how it was a turning point in history and the first step forward for the Middle East. History will vindicate us. Have a great day. Greg's Fishing Reports

Even a saucer-eyed Al Gore got into the spirit of things. Recently he screamed out the names of those who must walk his plank, and went into an exorcist-like trance when his vein-bulging, spinning-head got to spitting out the name "Woolfwoootizzzzz." LOL! Proof that VDH has been reading Mark Steyn, and taking notes!

Face it: This present generation of leaders at home would never have made it to Normandy Beach. They would instead have called off the advance to hold hearings on Pearl Harbor, cast around blame for the Japanese internment, sued over the light armor and guns of Sherman tanks, apologized for bombing German civilians, and recalled General Eisenhower to Washington to explain the rough treatment of Axis prisoners. Someone needs to put this on the president's desk.

I think part of the reason the media has been so negative is that even the Bush supporters in the media went along with the negative portrait during the spring. By making things appear as bad as possible during the spring anything that happens this summer is likely to appear to be an improvement. With the economy already picking up and with things going better in Iraq just in time for the GOP convention Bush could be looking forward to a blowout victory.

But now as then, the louder voice of defeatism smothers all reason, all perspective, all sense of balance So true. Also, that same voice has the same goal - the defeat of America!
